He is absolutely so adorable and friendly! He was purring so loudly that the vet couldn't get his heartbeat or his lungs. He really just wants a home 😭

Hasan Piker has a great tweet about this

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I'm pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it's a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

It's really fucking weird to see the disconnect between the powers that be and regular people regarding Israel/Gaza.

I can't really think of anything in my lifetime that had the same disconnect. Was the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq this protested? Vietnam maybe?

Ngl, the Samsung foldables look sick as hell. But I'm not ready to go back to OneUI bloat or whatever they're doing with SamsungAI.

The "Halo Effect" has been a known psychological phenomenon since 1907 researched by uh...Wells and someone else who I can't remember.

I don't want to rain on your cranky old man parade, but unless you're 100+ years old I don't think it was ever just "being a gullible dumbass", it's very much a known societal bias that has been leveraged by the advertising industry. Don't think you're immune to it just because you think you're "above it".

Me: I bet it's a finance company

The first fucking sentence of the article: "When Ty landed an introductory phone interview with a finance and banking company last month..."

Jokes aside, I've had one AI job interview in the last year, and while the AI was more dynamic than the one mentioned in the article, it was still a weird experience. I'm not really sure what the legalities are around using my likeness and voice to train the AI either, but it made me realize I'm not very comfortable with video interviews that have become the norm during Covid.

I also like that the article points out it can go both ways. If the recruiters are interviewing using AI, there's also live AI tools that will help the candidate navigate that interview. Soon enough, it'll just be AI interviewing AI. And isn't that the world we really want to live in 🤡

Very useful, just like my dedicated Cortana key. 🤡

Is this the…um…incest game? Is that why they’re being harassed? Or is it something else I’m ootl on?

As a current university student, I see a lot of iPads and Surface tablets in my classes. They have essentially replaced traditional laptops in any specialties that isn’t computer science adjacent.

You can handwrite notes straight your textbooks/slides or type with an external keyboard without having to carry around a textbook+notebook+laptop. It’s very convenient.

The askhistorians subreddit and it's mod team are absolute gems, I was able to attend one of their talks at a conference and it was honestly one of the best presentations I've seen at these types of events. It is giant loss to the academic community to have them shut down tbh, and I hope they are able to migrate and keep their audience.

But then again knowing Reddit, if they migrate u/spez will probably allow Holocaust deniers to take up the space or something.
